Including one Online Round would have been a bit better..... Nonetheless, its good to see that The Times Group have come forward to again sponsor the event.... Kudos to Deb, Amit and the team for bringing the sponsorship....

Would be missing this years ISC!!!!! Best of luck to all the participants for all the 4 cities..... Cheers!!!!

Will the format of the other regional rounds be similar to the one in Bangalore? As in, 6x6s to determine the first round eliminations and then 9x9s with variants in the next rounds?
